I'm honestly baffled at the comments about this name sounding like 'anus.' It's Agnes without the 'g.' You don't pronounce Agnes like 'Ayg-nis' so why would Annis be 'Ay-nis'?

Tbh i didn't get the anus association cause anus and Annis sound different in British English. Then i realised accents exist and yeah, i see why in the states it might be an issue lol. I quite like how it sounds in my accent.

It reminds me of the word “anus,” but it sounds wonderful! It sounds very cheerful and friendly.

My name is Annis. Pronunciation can be a problem. I usually say, "Pronounced Annis, like the spice." For some, that doesn't ring a bell, so I say, "Rhymes with Janice." And yes, I have been called anus. Usually only once. Except for that unthinking car salesman who didn't get my business.

This spelling is a little sus. I like Anise better because it is more concise.

I don't like this name. Reminds me too much of the word 'anus' which is NOT a nice thought to have. :/

A very pretty name. But I'm afraid a child would be called Anus. Pity!

In Scottish folklore, the Black Annis was a demon (possibly fallen pagan goddess) who was rather like a Baba Yaga.
"She took the form of a one eyed wizened crone, immensely strong with sharp tearing teeth, long black claws and a blue face. She was said to hide in a giant oak, long since felled, that was once the remnants of a great forest, which covered the area. From this lofty perch she would leap out and eviscerate unwary travellers."
